Sounds like you just don't have POWER to the unit. Is the green LED
lit? I could be wrong, I only had an MSFFW for a couple of days a year
ago... Are you securely attached to the serial port? Are the properties
for your serial port okay?

Well, after getting the hiding of it's life since November '98, my MSFF
wheel has now lost the will to carry on. "Use the force", I urged it, but
alas, it remained unmoved, and, unmoving. Everything works fine except the
FF. I ran through the troubleshooter, to no avail, and even I took the
bugger apart, but there seemed to be no problem with the internals. Anyone
else had this problem? As it's out of guarantee, If I can't fix it myself,
then I think I'll just buy a new wheel . Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like a built in thing from Microsoft to make you have to turn it in
after the warranty so they can get more $$ out of you! I wouldn't put it
past them to have an autofail feature built it!

Power supply was OK, and the wheel had power. All connections OK, the port
was fine, I checked it out with some other controllers too, no problems. MS
can add peripherals to the list of things they make badly :-) Shame really,
because it was a nice wheel, and great pedals too.

The same thought entered my mind as well. Well, they can F**k off, this is
my excuse to get an ACT Labs wheel. MS have seen their last penny from me.
(Just watch as they go bankrupt<g>)
